Highway 407 Transitway is a proposed station of the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to be built on its western branch, the Spadina line. If built, it would be located at the Jane Street and Highway 407 ETR interchange, and it's expected to open in early 2015 when the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is estimated to be finished building the extension of the line to Steeles West.
The station is north of Steeles Avenue. This would be one of two stations that is outside the City of Toronto, specifically in the City of Vaughan, in York Region.
[edit] Subway extension
The TTC has conducted the environmental assessment (see official link below) for the project to extend the Spadina line north from Downsview through this station to York University, Steeles Avenue and the proposed Vaughan Corporate Centre. The governments of Ontario and Canada have each pledged $670 million of funding for its construction. The City of Toronto and the TTC have indicated their concerns about lacking funding to operate the subway once it is built.
